DYSLEXIA


I've been looking for resources for working with dyslexic students. One of the difficulties with a dyslexic student is that one cannot really use much written text as a support. So, a simple option is using a lot more listening...

A dyslexic student may have difficulty associating what he reads with the actual sounds the words make. Where other students might use songs together with a copy of the lyric, a dyslexic student may work better without the written part.

For dyslexics who might be able to read with the use of coloured filters, here is a nice option. This version is a DEMO ... VIRTUAL READING RULER. Or TRY IT OUT ... you obviously wouldn't want to buy this unless you are dyslexic, but it's great to give you ideas if you have to work with dyslexic students.
